Sometimes it’s nice to have a vegetarian day. I usually pan fry my mushrooms but I decided to give it a go at roasting them as I was roasting my tomatoes anyway. They were yummy. Balsamic vinegar and tomatoes are a match made in heaven and it worked with the mushrooms just as good. This…

Crab, Scallop and Prawn Pizza
This is a treat, a posh pizza! It was delicious, I love shellfish and I love pizza so the two together was a delight. I don’t think I would be able to afford it all the time though. As it’s a white sauce it doesn’t overpower the sweet meat and the brown meat in the…
